With generous support from Foundation, APNLC’s Pathways Forward learning program has helped to create social and economic opportunities for participants in the Sagatay program.

Here is what one of the learners says about his experience in the program: “The classes are literacy-based and have been very helpful in giving me awareness of community services and how and when to access those services. The topics are very relevant and include health, finance, employment, and education literacy. During my time here, I have gained more confidence, and learned some necessary skills required to move forward with my educational goals.”

Thank you to all of the participants from Sagatay who share their knowledge and experiences in the classroom each week and congratulations on your successes!
